The Zika virus is commonly misdiagnosed as many other diseases. These diseases include dengue, leptospirosis, malaria, rickettsia, group Astreptococcus, rubella, measles, parvovirus, enterovirus, adenovirus, and alphavirus infection.
Diagnosis is initially based on patients recent history, including places traveled.
Blood serum and plasma testing is conducted to detect viral nucleic acids or virus specific IgM. Laboratory testing is the primary source when differentiating between Zika and other commonly misdiagnosed viruses.
